Incredible co-incidences

[Wacky Racer]

A few years back, I was on a plane coming back from Holiday on Malta, and got chatting to a woman next to me about thirty years old.

She explained she had married a Maltese guy who owned a sports shop in Malta, but was going back to England to visit her father, who was having a big 70th birthday bash in a marquee in his house near Clitheroe.

Thought no more about it.

Then, later on that year, on a plane going to Malta, I sat next to a lady about 70 years old, who explained she was from Clitheroe and was going visiting her daughter who had married a guy who owned a Sports Shop in Malta.

Bearing in mind there are around 250 different seats I could have sat on, what are the odds on that?

When I told her, we both couldn't believe it.

Have you any similar stories?

249 to 1.

And the fact it was on a different plane about nine months later......
